There will be two rounds of judging.

Round One

Once submissions are closed our judges will reveiw the captions and select their 10 personal favorite captions. Then on August 5 at 3:00 p.m. EDT you can watch our judges live on Opensource.com via Google On Air Hangout narrow down their lists to the 10 best overall captions.

We want the Opensource.com community to have a hand in helping to pick the winners too. So, we’ll give you the chance to vote on the 10 best captions selected by our judges after the live Google Hangout. The captions with the most votes on August 8 at 11:59 p.m. will win.

Judges: We’re honored to have two open source celebrities help judge the contest!

1. Someday, children, all this will be open source!
2. See, children, you can do anything using open source.
3. Could you tell us please, Miss, why aren't you using open source software on your machine?
4. If you please, Miss, are you using open source on that machine?
5. Well, I thought it was Windows, but it is really is open source!
6. Well, it is so cool that I thought it was OSX, but it turns out it's open source!
7. Please Miss, if we use open source, will we get our colors back?
8. If you please Miss, which open source operating system to you prefer, Red Hat, Ubuntu, or Debian?
9. See children, I'm just logging on to Git-Hub to get the latest open-sourced compiler for my Arduino.
10. That's very cool, Miss, but which open-source package manager are you using to update your core?

1."Don't be alarmed, children, that's just the Haskell compiling."
2. "And THIS, kids, is why you never code python on LSD!"
3. "Look, kids! I found Richard Stallman's laptop!"
4. > sudo apt-get install shrooms
5. "See, children! See what the almighty Gimp hath shooped upon us!"
6.
Kids, this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the princess of free software.

With B.S.D. born and raised
In the command line where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, hackin', crackin' all cool
And all writing' some FORTRAN outside of the school
When a couple of businessmen, they were up to no good
Started closin' sources in my neighborhood
but all those sources were supposed to be shared!
So I said "I'm gonna be an activist for free software!"

I started forums on the net and when the nerds came near
'Said my ideas were "fresh" and so we set up a mirror
If anything I seeded thousands of files zipped .rar
And we shared, and we seeded -- it's free software!

I got me some servers -- about seven or eight
And I yelled to Microsoft "Yo, homes smell you later!"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the princess of free software.

1) " So The Doctor says that all your Grandchildren will will have one and the world will become open source"
2) "Yes, open source will be available to everyone. That's what we're fighting for!"
3) "“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning for open-source."
4) "It's a brave, new world that such open-source programmers in it."

I'll make the ui, who wants the database? Okay, Brian. Now, who will code the models? Great, Suzy! Billy... Billy?... okay, Billy ran away to do his own thing. Linus, can you handle the kernel? Oh, you watch your language young man!

1. "And that's how you created the internet."
2. "So just by tunneling into our Raspberry Pi, we can use our laptops to control everything in the neighborhood!"
3. "Who wants to write the next line of code?"
4. "I told you girls could be awesome programmers too!"
5. The future is open source.
6. Your future will be developed by your children.
7. Not all champions play sports.
8. Teachers are my heroes.
9. The limits to possibility only exist within our minds.
10. Every child deserves a chance to step out of black and white.

1. "Out of the black and white comes a world of Openness, a world of Sharing. Will you help expand this world?"
2. "How are you getting internet all the way out here?"
3. "Sharing doesn't end with open-source software. Share your knowledge, share your experiences."
4. "This looks like the 21st century Magic School Bus. Are we going on an adventure?"
5. "Look everyone, a new angry cat photo!"
6. "Each sticker adds 100mhz to my laptop's CPU. No joke."
7. "No matter your beginnings, share and collaborate. Stand out of the crowd."
8. "Share your knowledge with your peers and their minds will start to brighten the dim world."

Teaching children Open Source technologies and philosophies at a young age is vital to the ongoing persistence, evolution, and adoption of free and open software as we move into an unknown technological future.
